In addition, you'll be notified when your memory and CPU resources are about to run out.

## Why Is My Mac So Slow?

Working on a slow Mac is really frustrating. But before we learn how to speed up your Mac, let’s take a look at the reasons why your Mac is slow.

A variety of reasons can cause a Mac to slow down. The main ones are:

* Not enough storage space.
* Too many processes running in the background.
* Too many startup programs.
* Outdated macOS.
* Mac hardware problems.

## How to Make Your Mac Run Faster

Now that you know why your Mac is slow, we’ve come to the part you care most about - how to speed up a slow Mac. Here are some ways you can try:

### Optimize Mac Storage

The amount of free space you have is directly related to your Mac performance. Fortunately, Macs running macOS Sierra and later have a built-in storage optimization feature that automatically frees up some space for you when you're running low on storage.

To find out how your storage is being used and how much free space is left, click the Apple menu > About This Mac > Storage.

![Check Free Storage Space on Mac](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/check_free_space_mac_cc6941480e.png?width=650)

To optimize your storage, just click the Manage button above the storage bar, and you'll see 4 optimization recommendations. All you need to do is optimize your Mac as suggested.

### Clean up Useless Files

When you use your Mac, you will inevitably download a lot of files. Some files may be of no use to you, but you didn’t delete them in time. As a result, they build up and take up a lot of your precious space.

Files that can be safely deleted include DMG files, files in the trash, [duplicate files](https://www.drbuho.com/how-to/find-and-delete-duplicate-files-on-mac), corrupted files, and unrecognizable files. In addition, caches and logs from the system, applications and users can also be cleaned freely.

![Quickly Clean Up Mac with BuhoCleaner](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/clean_up_mac_with_buhocleaner_b6b9f1cbac.png)

### Uninstall Unwanted Apps

Apps can also take up a lot of storage space. Have you noticed that some apps you may not have used for a long time, or have never been used since they were installed? Whether or not you have enough storage space, it is recommended that you remove them from your Mac.

Dragging an app to the trash does not completely remove it. Its supporting files are still on your hard drive. As you know, it is not easy to find and delete them manually. But if you have BuhoCleaner at hand, you can save a lot of time and effort. 

Beyond a Mac cleaner, BuhoCleaner is also an easy-to-use [app uninstaller](https://www.drbuho.com/how-to/best-free-app-uninstallers-for-mac) that can completely delete multiple apps with one click, including stubborn antivirus software like Avast and [Bitdefender](https://www.drbuho.com/how-to/uninstall-bitdefender-mac).

1. Download, install, and open BuhoCleaner. 
2. Click on App Uninstall in the sidebar, and you will see all installed apps.

### Stop Resource-Hungry Processes

As we mentioned above, having too many programs running in the background can slow down your Mac. They consume so much memory and CPU resources that your Mac may not have enough resources to complete your operations.

Activity Monitor is a handy tool that allows you to check which processes are eating your CPU and memory. You can quickly launch it with Spotlight. With it open, find unused programs and processes, select them, and click Stop in the toolbar to quit or force quit them.

### Disable Unnecessary Startup Programs

Startup programs are apps and services that launch automatically when you log into your Mac. The more of them, the slower your Mac boots up. If your Mac is slow due to too many startup programs. It’s time to disable those unnecessary ones. 

Here's how to remove startup programs on your Mac:

1. Click the Apple icon and select System Preferences.
2. Click Users & Groups > Login Items, and you will see a list of apps that automatically open when your Mac starts.

The free Startups feature built into BuhoCleaner can help you manage all your login items and services more easily. Click [here](https://www.drbuho.com/buhocleaner/download) to download and try it out.
